Recipes and tips
Many of these dinner ideas you can probably make from memory, without ever needing to consult a recipe. However, I’m including some of my favorite links below just in case you need some tips or recipe ideas:
Some assembly required
You bring the pieces. They build it how they like it. These meals are perfect for families with picky eaters or even different allergies, because everyone can assemble their dinners the way they like them, and leave out the ingredients they don’t like.
One-pan
These are dinner ideas that you can cook (and even deliver) in one big pan. I highly recommend disposable aluminum pans.
Ready-made
These are meals that you can usually find already made at the grocery story or a favorite restaurant. Just pick it up and deliver it.
- Taco kit
- Caesar salad with rotisserie chicken
- Chicken noodle soup
- Sushi
- Pulled pork & rolls for sandwiches
Freezer ready
These are meals that are easy to freeze, so that the person you’re giving it to can keep it until they’re ready for it.
Fun foods
These meals are perfect for families with kids. They are fun and easy meals that most kids (and adults!) will love.
- Waffles, pancakes, or french toast for dinner
- Pizza
- Spaghetti & meatballs
- Chicken tender wraps
- Loaded nachos
